VILLA IS SECRETABY OF WAR Carranza Government Aake Permit sion to Move Troops Through Toxat New Mexico and Arizona. The next time you buy calomel ask for Washington.—Villa forces have pro claimed General Felipe Angeles pro visional president of Mexico and Villa himself,'secretary of war. The move, coming at the climax of military operations considered by the Carranza government so serious that it has asked the linited States for ‘permisskm—To taove troopr ttmvui Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, is regarded here as reflecting a situa tion more serious in Mexico than any since the triumph of Carranza forces over Villa three years ago. Viewed in connection with activities of the Felicista forces in southern .Mexico the situation is regarded as full of possibilities. Angeles’ reported first proclamation announcing that Americans in Mexico would be protected is particularly in teresting to officials here, coming as it does on the heels of the refusal of the' 'state department to Mirant "Car ranza’s request that he be allowed to move’ troops through American terri tory for the purpose of protecting Americans in Chihuahua. Acting Secretary Polk announced that he had notified the Mexican government he could not grant the re quest made unless assurances could be given that Americans would be af forded protection while the troops were in transit. That this could not be done had been admitted previous ly by the Mexican authorities. Gov ernor Hobby, of Texas, declined to authorize the passage of Mexican Mrs. A. B. HENRY.
